Last week Bill Maher was a guest on the Daily Show , promoting his new movie Religulous and offering a clip. The clip happened to show a sardar in a London park, which was the extent of any Sikh’s appearance in the movie.
The name, ‘Religulous,’ is a portmanteau blending the words 1) religion and 2) ridiculous, and examines the overlap of those concepts. The movie’s proclaimed purpose is to promote doubt in the minds of those who have blocked doubt in religious teachings completely and subsequently hold totally irrational beliefs (i.e. reject evolution), though those who actually go to watch the movie probably wouldn’t be completely opposed to such doubt to be gin with. Of course at some point the explanations of rationality end, and there is the unknown. The point of the movie is to admit that it actually is unknown, and show that those who claim to know, really don’t.
In the movie, Bill Maher interviews people from a varie...

No matter what you think of religion, you have to admit, Huckabee owns Maher in this interview.
Bill Maher completely forgot to take Religion 101 and decided to debate a former pastor. Amateur hour. It’s like watching Randy Johnson pitch to a Little Leaguer. It’s interesting watching Bill’s body language trying to compensate for a lack of an argument. When Huckabee makes a point and Bill laughs instead of presenting an arg... more

Ten prominent players in science and technology— many of them local to the Boston area —are reportedly today going to reveal about 20 percent of the genome sequences, along with their medical records on the Web. The group, including Harvard Medical School’s George Church and legendary venture capitalist Esther Dyson, are the first volunteers in Church’s Personal Genome Project , which is aiming t... more
The Personal Genome Project has released the data sets and descriptions of traits, ethnic background and other information of the first ten volunteers, which include the project director and nine other people with backgrounds in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.

EP Vantage submits: Recent headlines that Susquehanna analysts have downgraded their rating on Human Genome Sciences (HGSI) from “positive” to “neutral”, whilst negative for sentiment, may have initially appeared relatively innocuous given the tough financial climate. However, this “neutral” rating masked some pretty damming opinions from the analysts, including: “our enthusiasm for HGSI’s products and our confidence in management’s abi... more
A delegation of representatives for the PSGPC traveled to the U.S. and UK to discuss congregational needs, socioeconomics, and Muslim-Sikh relations in Pakistan [ed note: forgive the confusing grammar from the news source; the translation is imperfect].
The delegation did quite a bit of fundraising, and they stopped to check in with several Sikh “community leaders” throughout California, and elsewhere. Largely these were founders or heads of private non-profits, not congregation... more

This day marks the 221th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution .
No matter how much we argue about the details of its meaning today, in the opinion of many, the Constitution signed in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787 represents the greatest expression of statesmanship and compromise ever written. In just four hand-written pages, the Constitution gives us no less than the owners’ manual to the greatest form of government the world has ever known. [ Link ]

In light of the Indian government’s response to this past weekend’s bombings in Delhi, this video seems especially poignant (not to mention sweeet!).
Click here to view the embedded video.
Thus far, the Indian government’s strong-arm tactics haven’t worked and have only led to more bombings.
The Indian Mujahideen … claimed that the Delhi blasts were the direct result of the raids carried out before and after the Ahmedabad blasts on July 26. “This... more
We have had a lot of discussion about the Sikh identity here on TLH, so it is no surprise that when I saw this movie poster I immediately wanted to bring it to your attention.
Bollywood is doing it again – another movie with Sikhs. But instead of what we have seen in the past with Sikhs often portrayed as unflattering villains and goofballs, it seems that the trend now is to cast people in Sikhs roles where the Sikhs are the heroes. I suppose it is partly in that spirit that the movie ... more
